Hegseth micromanages the101st

Posted on Posted in lost horizon, morning wood, wargasm

fly-by, fly-over the fortunate slum.. warfare 101. let the colonel do it.

forget the unfortunate some, the 82nd prepping for fire. the 101st show no respect for their core creed. Not for showing off. yep, mercenaries at an air-show.

As he marshals the 82nd to correct a mismanaged air war. The only casualties that matter are civilian.. no memorial no parade no medals.. they’re just condoms on the roadside of the tattooed brigade.

meanwhile at the homeland [ Shah Alam sought safety in the U.S. and “instead, he was left to die in the street,”]

Carry on cardboard patriots.

—/ At last year’s event, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took to the stage to address the latest Pentagon reforms like cuts to the general officer corps, slashes to diversity, equity and inclusion programs, and quality-of-life changes like barracks investment and jump pay increases. 82nd .

–/“This is not 2003,” Hegseth said at a March 10 Pentagon news briefing. “This is not endless nation building under those types of quagmires we saw under [Presidents] Bush or Obama. It’s not even close. Our generation of soldier will not let that happen again, and nor will this president, who very clearly ran against those kinds of never-ending, nebulously scoped missions. Those days are dead.”

Iran has to survive to win. Trump has to win to survive. He avoided Vietnam. He skipped that lesson. Iran is his broken ballroom. FOX n Friends isn’t war college.

going, going, glycin :2026

The thin trail .. drip drop of darkroom chemicals . It will be available, sometimes… until it is no longer around. The depth of the market is thin and thinning. You may sing the hymn, but you aren’t its author. The supporting structures are not stable enough to sustain even the small subsistence suppliers of your hobby. Knowing that, is the difference between paths to keep, paths to explore.

Glycin, when made in quantity, by industrial chemists using trained technicians is a long lived chemical. Light is its ager. When made in small batches, using cookery skills, it lasts months before losing its use as a magic-developer-bean.

the shorthand: it hasn’t been in stock for 2 months…

Asking for more isn’t enough … the oasis has limits of everything but sand… an acolytes prayer book can lead the neophyte into a desert. Memories don’t matter when it comes to nourishing a craft…

Better build using what is replaceable, repeatable… that’s just my opinion..

NB: “overnight notes” are briefs, responses, as are “minimum daily requirements,” “morning wood” — the differences are along the lines of possibly longer, should be considered, scoffs – toss outs — one liner possibles.

weather changes.. gain some self confidence by shopping for yourself. have more trust in facts you make. the facts of darkroom life change more often than the opinions, awareness of the ensconced forum-familiary.
